Apple normally doesn’t make apps for Android but given that it operates a music streaming service that dreams of overtaking Spotify, it had to release an app for its rival platform. Apple Music has been in public beta ever since it landed on Android many months go but the app has finally exited the beta period. Apple Music was released for Android back in November last year.

Apple Music came into being after the company acquired Beats Music and rolled that service into its own. It was released back in June 2015 and in November an app was released in public beta for Android.

Since then, Apple has made many improvements and changes to the app itself. It has added Android-only features to the app and brought it up to par with its iOS counterpart. The latest minor update brings equalizer settings and also removes the beta status of this application.

Given that it’s an Android app, it does have a few features that the company can not provide on iOS. For example, Apple Music for Android provides a home screen widget for easy control of playback while home screen widgets are not a thing on iOS.

The latest version of Apple Music is live now and available for download via the Google Play Store.

Dish today announced the launch of a new skinny bundle that it calls Flex Pack. It provides Dish customers with choice and flexibility to create a personalized TV package. The skinny bundle starts at $39.99 per month and includes a core package of programming which consists of more than 50 channels while customers will also get a choice of one of eight themed channel packs.

Customers can easily add and remove as many channel packs they would like every month to best suit their requirements. Individual packs feature channels from local broadcast networks, kids, general entertainment as well as national and regional action. The packs range in price from $4 to $10 per month.

Flex Pack provides customers with flexibility as they don’t have to pay hundreds for a TV contract that features countless channels that they don’t even watch. “Flex Pack provides a level of flexibility and control that brings our customers closer to the ideal of fully tailoring their channel lineup,” explains Warren Schlichting, Dish executive vice president of Marketing, Programming and Media Sales.

The core package includes channels like AMC, USA, TNT, CNN, Discovery, Food Network, FX, and many more. There are a handful of individual packs available which add the likes of ABC, CNN, FOX, NBC, ESPN, CNBC, Bloomberg, and many other channels.

Customers can decide whether or not they want to add any of these packages to the core programming which costs $29.99. For an additional fee customers can add-on premium channels like HBO, Starz, Showtime, and Cinemax. The complete channel list is now available on Dish’s website.

One of the largest providers of broadband internet in the United States is of the opinion that customers who want more privacy should pay more money. It informed the FCC that it should be allowed to charge more if users demand more privacy. In its filing with the FCC, the company argues that it should be considered a “perfectly acceptable” business practice to charge money if they want to opt out of advertising that’s targeted to them.

The FCC has been busy with creating new privacy rules for broadband which will make it mandatory for ISPs to disclose what user information they are collecting and selling to advertisers, while also providing users with opt-out tools. FCC is also concerned with actions of some ISPs that appear as if they want to make online privacy a premium option.

“A bargained-for exchange of information for service is a perfectly acceptable and widely used model throughout the U.S. economy, including the Internet ecosystem, and is consistent with decades of legal precedent and policy goals related to consumer protection and privacy,” Comcast argues in its filing, adding that banning it from doing so would actually harm consumers by “depriving them of lower-priced offerings.”

Comcast won’t be the first ISP to do this because AT&T is already doing this. It runs a deep packet inspection program called Internet Preferences which tracks users’ browsing habits and uses that to deliver targeted advertisements. AT&T customers who want to opt out of this program have to pay $30 or more every single month.

If avocado is your jam then you’re in for a treat. 

Fooddeco, an Instagram account that captures delicious recipes in visually stunning photographs, has created the avocado burger. What’s that? It’s a burger that skips the bread buns and uses two halves of a whole avocado, instead.  

Avocado aficionados, jump for joy! OK, stop, because not very everyone is onboard. As Mashable pointed out Tuesday, the avocado burger has been a rather polarizing force on Twitter, as users debated whether this culinary concoction is a fresh take on a classic or an impractical avoca-DON’T. 

“I like to create ‘fresh take’ ideas on classics,” Fooddeco founder Colette Dike told Mashable. “Furthermore I love to think of new cutting techniques… especially using avocado, since its so photogenic and of course yummy.” 

For a not really that final verdict on whether this avocado burger gets the green light, we turned to the HuffPost newsroom. Our colleagues put some real thought into this (maybe too much thought? Nah!), taking the matter at hand very seriously. Here are the results: 

‘Team Yay’ was built of a few good men… very few.

“100% yay. I mean ― it’s stupid to try and eat it as is but with a knife and a fork, I’m totally on board.” ― Noah Michelson, editorial director of HuffPost Voices

“It looks adorbz and it gives you what every true red-blooded american has already grown accustomed to: Avocado on every damn thing you eat, especially including burgers.” ― Andy Campbell, HuffPost reporter 

“Absolutely a yay ― looks de-lish. Besides, I fully buy into the much-ballyhooed nutritional ‘fact’ that avocados contain ‘good fat,’ so…it’s good for you, right?” ― Curtis Wong, senior editor of HuffPost Queer Voices 

Everyone else seemed to have different problems with the avocado burger, like: How do you eat it?  

“It looks like logistical travesty but my god I bet it’s yummy. I’m gonna go NAY because I don’t know why it has to be in burger form. #America.” ― Jenavieve Hatch, editorial fellow HuffPost Women

“With a fork & knife? Sure. Otherwise, pass. That thing has zero structural integrity.” ― Christy Havranek, HuffPost photo director 

“Absolutely not if you want me to eat it like you would eat an actual burger, but with a fork and knife it’s probably delicious.” ― Emma Gray, executive editor of HuffPost Women.

Or, the “I would only eat this in salad form” folks…

“I love the idea but if you’ve ever tried to cut an avocado with a fork and knife, you’ll know how much it slides all over the plate ― I feel like the whole thing will fall apart pretty quickly. So nay, but down to have everything chopped up in a burger salad.” ― Hollis Miller, associate social editor for HuffPost Voices

“This is a stacked salad, not a burger. I’d just topple it over, then eat it.” ― Tanisha Ramirez, editor of HuffPost Latino Voices

“The only thing I would get out of this method is messy/green hands. I’m ALL about it as a salad. Otherwise, just have a regular burger with a regular bun and treat yoself.” ― Lindsay Holmes, deputy editor of HuffPost Healthy Living

“The kid in me would 100% attempt this with my hands, but the adult in me would immediately hate myself for it. I’m all for it being chopped into a salad though!” ― Sahaj Kohli, HuffPost blog editor
